1-Ben, you have several months spread out over various arts, making you less than a beginner. Anyone with two years of experience in a decent school can teach you stuff that would work.
2-There haven't been real Martial Monks in Shaolin in decades. There have however, been contemporary wu-shu performers who shave their heads,donned robes and are now"Monks." They are very good, but they only know contemporary routines and some sanda kickboxing. I had students who trained under a well-known 'Shaolin Monk' in NY come to me, because they wanted to learn how to fight. The "Monk's" knowledge of actual application was very limited, to say the least.
3-there is no internal and external. Internal was a phrase that Sun Lu=Tang used in an article to describe Hsing-Yi, Ba-Kua, and Tai-Chi-Ch'uan-nie jia-internal schools. Now it is a catch-phrase used by "internal arts" snobs, who are holier than thou. ALL traditional Martial Art is internal. If you say otherwise, you simply don't understand Martial Arts. Period.
4-Hsing-Yi did not come from Shaolin, and NO, it did not come from Wudang either, niether did Ba-Kua or Tai-Chi-Ch'uan.
That was funny....though most buzzards are in the raptor class and vultures are labeled as such. And it is a derogatory term for any large bird that happens to be a scavenger.

Why does it not surprise me that you have an extensive knowledge of buzzard biology?

I studied xingyiquan for about a year and I loved it. It is a really great internal style, I only call it internal because we trained in multiple breathing and chi building exercises. I would reccomend this art to anyone interested in chinese Kung-Fu or martial arts in general, plus if you are interested in animal forms than xingyi is a must.
